Not to mention the nightmare of Dehydrated Pork Patties!!!
On the other hand, what a great tool to make that prisoner to tell all!

Then again, the same guys also produced eggs and ham in a can....sorry, but eggs typically are NOT eaten out of a can for a reason. And if you don't believe me, you should have seen and read the comments U.S. servicemembers made about the (now discontinued) MRE entree "Cheese and Vegetable Omelette". Some have compared it to trying to eat rubber...others have compared it to eating puke.

Yup back in the day. I liked the ham and eggs in the can, they were much better warm with some cheese. The Ham and Muther F**kers (ham and lima beans) sucked major. If one was hungry they all were not too bad, better when warmed though. Did not see any of the first MREs till after I got out. Those dehydrated ones were not too bad. I still would of taken a C-ration over them though.

MRCs were a rather unique. Ham and Lima beans were the utter pits, but runner up was the Meat & Potatos....sorta like eating a mix of rocks and sawdust, smeared with rancid lard.
The Egg Loaf wasn't bad....but it wasn't first pick. I still remember that aftertaste!! I'd have to say that the Turkey Loaf and the Franks & Beans were the better choices...unless you could engineer an excuse to stop in town and hit the Lotto Totto for sausage, rye bread and a couple of beers!
